10:07 a.m. PT – Fat Joe tells us that he has been diabetic since he was a teenager and Ozempic was just ONE of the countermeasures he used…the years of discipline, diet and exercise he also applied to his health before Ozempic was even invented are not to be overlooked!!!

Unlike the dozens of celebrities suspected of secretly taking weight loss medications, Fat Joe has no shame when it comes to his health – he admits that Ozempic helped him lose some serious pounds!! !!

The Bronx rap legend says in addition to taking Ozempic, he also changed his diet, which helped him lose 200 pounds.

“Ozempic says you might only have two pieces of your favorite things,” he says Us weekly – “Favorite things” were the carbohydrates that he had to curb.

Joe says he's reduced his consumption of bread, pasta and rice… and isn't above trimming the corners of his toast to ensure balance and moderation.

The stripped-down Flow Joe will be seen later today broadcasting the BET Hip Hop Awards, which he hosted.

The use of Ozempic has been a hot topic in Hollywood all year long, and not everyone agrees with it.

Jillian Michaels believes that it will have psychological consequences in the long run and thinks America needs to rethink its food sources.

Nevertheless, for Joe, advocating for health issues is not a fad. We told the story…he is Politicians push Adjust hidden healthcare costs.

Maybe it will give everyone access to Ozempic!!!
